                                      SPY REPORT

     Good day, in MORDANT a quiet thief gets rich, but a quiet spymaster gets poor.  
So bring me ale and harken to my tidbits of news.  HOT RODS stable has parlayed this 
turn's 3-2-0 into a 4 space move up the rankings.  This brings them up to 4th place.  
Good work, guys!  And let's see, HAXAN fought BOTULISM BEAR and gained 16 points and 
contributed to EXORCISE THIS' 2-3-0.  VIV has lost to GRINCH BEAR, falling 14 points, 
while helping make EXORCISE THIS a 2-3-0 turn.  Due to his absence and inability to 
defend the throne, WISH YOU WERE BEER has lost the title of Duelmaster.  And all eyes 
were on CLUMSY DOLT this turn as he ascended to the throne of Duelmaster.  MORDANT 
has a new victor!  Tell me, is nothing sacred?  I have heard from unimpeachable 
sources that Conan's Place uses trolls in their stew.  Talk about gristle!   
     Oriental wise man once say, 'Hiding behind shields prevents proper sun tanning.' 
Inscrutable, but true.  I also notice that the TASTE THE PAIN stable was the most 
avoided team this turn.  Come on MORDANT, what are you afraid of?  And guess who 
avoided TASTE THE PAIN stable the most?  Believe it or not, it was BLACK MONASTARY.  
Anyone surprised?   
     The Dark Arena is for those who cannot win, not who cannot lose with grace.  
Dignity in life or death is the warrior's creed.  Is it really true that MORDANT has 
more dishwashers per capita that fighters?  Just thought I'd ask...   
     I like this place, MORDANT, the taverns have old wine, and young serving girls.  
Who could ask for more?  It's been nice chatting with you, until we meet again, keep 
your swords sharp and your hammers heavy.  Until the sun next rises and my pen sets 
to paper-- Alarond the Scribe

P.S.  Stretching exercises for you.  There must be someone around here who has a rack.

he also taught me three skills, which was a boon. -- Runalong
